RSL puts a spring in the step for Kingsdown

RSL were asked to specify a resin floor for natural spring water suppliers, Kingsdown Water, for their new bottling line. They required a heavy duty flooring solution which provided chemical resistance, was able to withstand the load of heavy machinery and was easy to clean.

Kingsdown Water, natural spring water suppliers, recently extended their state of the art stainless steel production facility by adding a new bottling line. Cleanliness is critical in drink production environments; all production areas need to be able to withstand rigorous cleaning regimes to maintain excellent hygiene standards and all building products need a long life expectancy to reduce cost and shutdown time for maintenance. RSL were asked to specify a resin floor for the area. The main brief for the project was a heavy duty flooring solution which provided chemical resistance, was able to withstand the load of heavy machinery and was easy to clean. Resuthane SL23 was chosen as the ideal solution for this project. The water-based polyurethane self-smoothing resin floor screed is part of the award winning Resuthane range. Approved by Campden BRI as a food safe product, Resuthane SL23 provides a seamless floor which is hard wearing, chemical resistant, easy to clean and non-dusting. Recycling waste water in food & drink manufacture environments not only boosts environmental credentials but increases efficiency. Kingsdown are committed to protecting the environment and wanted to ensure that all production waste from their bottling plants is recycled. Resuthane SL23 is easily laid to falls to incorporate drainage channels and grids creating an efficient drainage system throughout the plant. Kingsdown Water is a premium brand synonymous with purity and quality. The Kingsdown design is simple, modern and stylish. It was important for them to extend this to their production and distribution facilities. Resuthane SL23 was applied in Kingfisher blue a vibrant and striking blue which complements Kingsdown’s corporate colours and brightens up the bottling plant. The result is a vibrant highly functional floor that is easy to clean, supports an efficient drainage system and enhances the production environment.
